What people say

"Unique in Andalusia and the third of the best preserved medieval synagogues in all of Spain, the Cordoba Synagogue is located in the Jewish quarter. Built between 1314 and 1315 according to the inscriptions found in the building, it served as a temple until the final expulsion of the Jews. Through the courtyard you access a small hall. To the right of this go up the stairs that give access to the women's area. In front of it opens the main room. With a quadrangular floor plan, it is decorated with Mudejar atauriques. The wall that supports the women's gallery opens with three arches decorated with plasterwork of great beauty. In 1492 the Jews were expelled, the temple being used as a hospital, later being the hermitage of San Crispin and, finally, a nursery school. At the end of the 19th century it was declared a National Monument."
